this law was doing pretty well. this individual mandate piece, and the ability for some people losing their insurance, some people getting better insurance at better prices, they have nothing better to critique. >> a lot of people don't know this. the majority of the text of the law is about the repayment system to do precisely what we're seeing show up in the data which is to bring costs down. >> that's right, it's trying to restructure systems to pay people based on outcomes, not on the services they provide. >> and there is good evidence already in hospital readmission rates that point to the fact it is having a good effect. thank you, both. coming up, today in detroit, life got even harder for a lot of people. >> for 29 years they took out money from my check to go in to my pension. and the city was supposed to put out an equal amount of money. they didn't fund it like they were supposed to but they got my money, and then they sit around now and they're going to renig on the promise that we got. >> i'm going to

the truth is that most college-aged students, because of the law, can stay on their parents' plan and that may be the best deal for them and we've already insured three million people. and your first job where you don't have full health insurance benefits may mean that you stay on your parents' plan a little bit longer. but at some point, let's say when you turn 26, if you're between jobs or you've got a passion, you're wanting to start a business and you're not going to have health insurance, this gives you the opportunity to get high-quality health insurance and for most people under 30, it's probably going to cost you less than your cell phone bill or your cable bill. less than 100 bucks. and, you know, there was a time when i looked healthy like these folks and thought i was never going to get sick. but what you discover is that some tough stuff happens. you have a run of bad luck. you suddenly need hospitalization, you have an accident, you get an illness. and for young people to recognize that it is in their financial interests and their health interests to be able to get ongoin

laws just days after north carolina's republican governor signed into law arguably the most restrictive voting laws since the voting rights act was signed in 1965. >> paul says he has no problem with a new north carolina law which simply requires voters to present their driver's license, that it's no comparison to jim crow era voter suppression. >> i don't think there is objective evidence that we're precluding african-americans from voting any longer. >> undeterred, this weekend paul was back at it in detroit. and by the looks of things, paul actually seems to have learned a lesson or two. instead of lecturing or condescending to his audience, paul simply focused on areas of shared concern. >> disproportionately, we're incarcerating blacks and latinos. something has to change. the war on drugs has gone awry and i'm for changing that. in my state, you never get your voting rights back. i have a friend whose brother 30 years ago got caught growing marijuana plants. he still can't vote. >> rand paul might turn out to be the best hope the gop has. looking at his history, that is really say
